The salsa, in fact, also doubles as the tomato topping for the bruschetta: as any good factory owner will tell you, consolidation on economies of scale is an easy way to increase profitability...

His successor, retired Air Force General...
...ripe avocado, was a successful (and amusing) concoction. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce worked well countered by a drop of the potent wasabi and a slice of the pickled ginger. Spider roll, containing an entire deep-fried soft-shell crab, was a delicious, gut-busting treat. Eating the mammoth rolls was quite a challenge—but one well worth taking...
